A series of "Working Briefs" in six sectors are available that are designed to provide information about anticipated impacts and risks from climate change in each of these six sectors, potential economic impacts, and leading preparedness practices. These working briefs as well as information about climate trends and projections and understanding climate impacts for New Jersey are available here.

The New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance has undertaken extensive stakeholder engagement to contribute to the development of climate preparedness and adaptation policy recommendations for New Jersey. This effort included a survey of New Jersey residents to estimate public support for seven building and zoning policies that protect coastal communities from storm and flooding risks.
